Didn't happen to me, but to my sister, who is new to Skyrim and just started playing yesterday... So anyway I was sitting next to her, watching her play and helping her when she needed it. (which is pretty much every minute. ._.) She was going through Bleak Falls Barrow and about 5 or 10 minutes in while fighting a draugr shes about to go into a kill cam but it sort of stops and just starts to zoom in and out of the draugrs face quickly... At the same time while it does that the draugr does this creepy evil laugh without it's mouth or anything on its face moving, just the camera zooming in and out of it face quickly. It was really funny to me because my sister scares easily. xD

Then just earlier today my sister was playing and she got that weird broken dancing around dragon glitch thing near Whiterun, I have never gotten it, so it was quite amusing to see finally... My sister was just very confused.

Also, not long ago when I got the Inigo companion mod and freed Inigo, we walked out of the prison and onto Riftens streets and there was a thief trying to get into a house, well the whole place went crazy and the guards started attacking the thief, I went over to wait until they where done so I could grab the thief's stuff... Well Inigo was just trying to follow me, still no clothes or armor on, and a guard shoots him directly through the forehead... Poor cat. Hes been through a lot. xD Made me laugh though. :D
He probably started regretted joining me then... I use him as a sort of shield most of the time, he takes the hits and I attack with my bow from a distance. :D

One time near the steed stone two dragons landed right by me that was a huge WTF, right after fast travel I got rushed. Theres times u just see animals falling from the sky, saw a Mammoth drop to its death, so funny. Aaaand has anyone witnessed the super slow mo flying dragons,on the odd occasion dragons will just travel at 10/mph breathing fire or frost, I think its cause they cant find a place to drop. Looks stupidly amusing.

I always found it weird that if you encounter the 3 guards with the prisoner when a dragon attacks everyone will attack it. Including the prisoner. And once the dragon is dead the prisoner will run back to the guards to continue walking towards wherever it is they're going. Come on, prisoner! That was the perfect time to run off!

I got the "random people randomly attack you for no reason whatsoever; have fun!" glitch again yesterday... but this time it was even worse than usual. :eek:

I was on my way to Riften from Broken Helm Hollow (bounty quest), when I came across those two sabre cat hunting Companions (they'd already killed the cat) just outside the city. I suppose you can guess what happened next.
The local carriage guard (mod) decided to join in the "fun" as I approached Riften, and unfortunately for me she is a mage who uses Ice Spike.

What did the guards do, you ask. "A fight!" "Get 'em! Kill 'em!" :rolleyes:

I was sure I would be safe once I went through a loading screen (in this case entered Riften), but I was wrong. Vilkas, Ria and the damn carriage guard kept chasing me along the streets, and even in the canal.
All the other NPCs were running around in confusion/panic - one was even swimming the canal. :D

In the end I managed to get away, but it took quite some time.

I just had this happen while fighting a Frosty Troll. Head count: Meeko, Erandur, three Imperial soldiers & their prisoner, and I. The bit I find most entertaining is: That despite being bound at the wrists, they have perfect punching form. Since I pretty well always pick fights with prisoners (because it turns everyone hostile without incurring a bounty), the last time he ran and grabbed a deceased soldier's Imperial bow. Sad to say, I was over my head with him wielding a bow at the time, and had to reload.

Current double-u tee ef: Meeko is following me... but, not in the traditional way... He's quite keeled over and floating across the ground when I move. This instance occured following a battle with a Giant (I'm assuming the cause of this), from which I had to flee most frantically... Well, I've made a save point. Hopefully when I go to reload at a later time, he'll still be all gimped out.

New hilarious moment when I visited Derkeethus at the mine, anyways I punched him for a laugh and he backed away into the river and sat swimming hoping I'd just go away.

I sheathed my fists (gloves) and then hired him as a follower. But I didn't notice straight away that he was a magic lizard with the unknown ability to swim on land!!!


Got a save game that when I load and run in circles, I've got a floating ally....Well funny.

He literally is superman flying up steep mountains.

that actually happened with my sabre cat follower. He's essential but when he was smashed to the moon by a giant he was "dead" as in he followed me but was limp on his side and dragging across the ground after me. It was so creepy.

I don't know if I should be glad that I'm not the only one or disturbed...

My instance was with Meeko-- innocent fun-loving doggy woggy... But, a sabre cat? That would be a bit much!

Perhaps you would be relieved to hear, after a time he reverted back to being a normal dog. Honestly, I'm not sure which personality I liked more. I almost became accustomed to the way he'd float in a pause next to an aggressor. A couple times he even made it in to kill cams... I almost fell out of my chair the first time that happened.

lol! I was so disturbed by the dead animal following me around I reloaded the save before coming across the giant. It really really bothered me. And for some reason reminded me of the dead pigs in Princess Mononoke.

I recently accepted the quest to retrieve Amren's sword from Halted Stream Camp, and when I got there, a mammoth was charging the place, probably trying to avenge all of his buddies killed off by the bandits. He managed to kill all of them except the one archer that was shooting at him from behind the fortifications. the mammoth couldn't get through the entrance, so it just kept getting pissed off by the arrows hitting it. I went over and gave a helping hand by killing the archer and the mammoth walked off, minding it's own business. When I got back to Whiterun with the sword, Amren said "you took on all those bandits by yourself?"
I was like, well... not exactly! ;)

I had to rescue Amren for a Companions quest. He glitched out on me and didn't follow me out of the cave. I accidentally hit him with my sword and then had to kill him, or else he kill me. I didn't want to fail the mission so I re-loaded. Again he glitched out and I tried to "FUS" him into moving but forgot I had Fire breath on and he died instantly in a fiery inferno. *sigh*
I decided I did NOT wish to go through that again as it was difficult killing the master vampire and his thralls. But when I got back to Vilkas he didn't say anything about the failed mission, just told me Skjor wanted to see me. Hopefully the whole quest isn't glitched.

Currently running through Forelhost. All the warrior types have over 100 Nord arrows a piece. I'm scratching my head.
I think Forelhost is my most hated place. I only go in there now about 50yards to get my ancient Nord armour, then turn tail and I'm out of there!

Maybe I'll return there one day when I am on level 80 on Legendary...just for plopss and giggles.. Yep I'm totally gonna do that. :p

Before I obtained Dragonrend on my current playthrough, I was tracking a dragon near Falkreath. Unfortunately, I ended up losing it. Not even a distant roar could be heard. I assumed it had left, so I went on with my business.

But all of a sudden... WHAM. Without any sort of warning whatsoever, the scaly bastard lands right on top of my character (in first-person view, no less), scaring the ever-living crap out of me in the process. I swiftly dealt with it after that, but I really don't think it was worth the anguish and stream of curse words that issued from my mouth.

I swear that this experience shaved a year or two off of my lifespan.

Most hated place? hmm... I don't know if I can name one. For a long time anywhere with two pressure plates on a spike wall were my most undesired locations. Now though, I find them most amusing, (with plenty of saves) especially in anticipation of who survives and who takes a knee.

I'll have to come back to this one. I'd like to pry my brain.

But all of a sudden... WHAM

This accurately describes events when I think I've successfully outrun a Bandit Chief, or similar higher leveled enemy. I'll go to turn around and there'll just be this mad man with his greatsword coming down. Dead.

When I turned around and found myself face to face with a giant who launched me into the air. The sad part was my last save point was when I had just gotten out of helgen.
Hate it when that happens! Not necessarily a Giant, I rarely get surprised by them, but whenever I'm playing a Hunter type, I don't intend to go DiD, but there's no save points out in the Wilderness, so I've gotten all the way to far North of Markarth, fully upgraded Foresworn Bow, and Armor, then get gibbed by sabercats. "What?" blink back to reality, "What time is it?" I'd been playing for about 7 hours, and so intent on Hunting, and clearing Redoubts I'd never gone inside. 12 levels, or so down the toilet. Sigh, go out for a smoke, and start over from the tunnel exit...
You turn autosave off or something? I save multiple times whether I'm indoors or not to avoid that situation.

oo yeah I had that happen to me once to. Scared the crap out of me. I also had a dead horse fall on top of me to.. that was enough for me to put the controller down for a moment.

Was running past the western watch tower when a guard said the usual.. "Got to keep my eyes open...damned dragon could swoop down at any minute".. and then what do I hear seconds later? yep, the roar of a dragon.

It's hard to say when saving and personal decisions are at fault. I tend to allocate very little to health (>300 for a typical playthrough, 150 for 40/33, and obviously that decreases with other stunted builds), so being one-hit isn't out of the ordinary at all. On top of that, I don't like to use the full potential of vanilla Smithing... Basically game-play consists of lots of saving (including autos), however, I often neglect it in heated moments-- which usually results in repeating entire dungeons five or six times, but that doesn't bother me.

Haha! You mean to say the dead horse kicked you?

Different play styles for sure. I'm doing all I can to avoid being one hit but still retaining a bit of a challenge, so I'm leveling up smithing for armor but still retaining minimal leveling for the armor tree. I'm about at same hp level as a bandit thug or so, which I like. Strong but not invincible. As for not saving in the heat of the moment, I used to do that but got frankly sick and tired of replaying the same point five or six times, so I always save at crucial moments now. It breaks the flow a little but I find it better than repeating huge chunks over and over again.

Thats it, the game ruins its fun once you are too powerful to take damage, where's the fun in that?

I like the sound of peoples playstyles here, similar to mine.
